Hot to get the x,y parameters of mouse

Hi!
How can I get the x,y parameters of the mouse pointer inside the whole
moniter (not inside the window)?
Thank you for reading.

I dont know what you meant, but the above poster means, forcing windows os to send mouse events to your window.
If you simply want to get the mouse position relative to the screen when the mouse is above your window not the whole screen.
int xPos = Cursor.Position.X;
int yPos = Cursor.Position.Y;
Should do it.

Hope this helps.
